Brian Joura Mets360: "After blowing the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Met scored two runs in the ninth to earn a 3-2 win over the Pirates Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The win brought the Mets back to .500 for the season and raised their record against Pittsburgh this year to 5-1."


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets complete comeback against Pirates with Francisco Lindor’s 9th-inning hit. "Brandon Nimmo gave the Mets a lead in the top of the eighth, Edwin Diaz lost it in the bottom of the inning and Francisco Lindor took it back for good in the ninth, helping the Mets come back for a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates."


Mike Puma NY Post: Francisco Lindor’s clutch hit helps Mets rally in ninth inning to beat Pirates. "Methodically, they built a rally in the ninth inning and received the big hit they needed from Francisco Lindor, whose two-out, two-run single put the Mets ahead for good in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates at PNC Park. Lindor’s single buried former Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, a half-inning after Edwin Diaz flushed a one-run lead."


Tim Healey Newsday: Francisco Lindor lifts Mets over Pirates after wild final two innings. "Chapman has a career 6.85 ERA against the Mets and 2.46 ERA against everybody else."

1962

With the help of Stan Musial's three home runs, the Cardinals soundly defeat the Mets at the Polo Grounds, 15-1. 'The Man,' who at the age of 41 becomes the oldest major leaguer ever to accomplish the feat, misses an opportunity for another at-bat in the ninth inning, after being replaced in the previous frame by pinch-runner Bobby Gene Smith.

1969

At Shea Stadium, Don Young is roundly criticized by Cubs' teammate Ron Santo for his two misplays in center field that help the Mets score three ninth-inning runs, resulting in a 4-3 walk-off victory and cutting Chicago's division lead to four games over the surging New York team. The emotional third baseman will apologize for his remarks tomorrow but will be soundly booed by the hometown fans in his first game back at Wrigley Field.

1979

The Mets announce the selection of Mettle as the name for the team's new mascot mule. Dolores Mapps of Mercerville, N.J., who submitted the winning entry, believes the moniker captures the team's "spirit, ardor, stamina, and courage, all of which the Mets have in abundance."

2000

The Yankees sweep their crosstown rivals in the first double-ballpark doubleheader since 1903 with identical 4-2 scores, in an afternoon tilt at Shea and an evening contest at Yankee Stadium. The twin bill provides quite an interesting day in New York when Mike Piazza, beaned by Roger Clemens, goes to the hospital, Dwight Gooden gets his first win at the Flushing Meadows ballpark since 1994, and a bizarre obstruction call on Mets' first baseman Todd Zeile causes the team to play first game under protest.



2014

The Mets beat Atlanta to win its 4,000th game since starting as an expansion team in 1962. The milestone victory is recorded by rookie right-hander Jacob deGrom, who strikes out 11 batters in seven shutout innings in the team's 8-3 win at Citi Field.


2019

In the decisive final round of the Home Run Derby at Progressive Field, Pete Alonso, hitting 23 home runs in his last at-bats, edges out fellow first-year player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays by one homer. The New York first baseman becomes the first Mets player to win the competition outright (Darryl Strawberry shared the title with Wally Joyner in 1986) and the second rookie ever to win the event, joining Yankee freshman Aaron Judge, who won in 2017.



Baseball Reference:

1967 - At Shea Stadium, Tom Seaver pitches the Mets to a 3 - 2 win over the Braves. An odd play occurs when Bud Harrelson's looper over third base is touched by a fan before Rico Carty can field it, and Harrelson is awarded a single because of fan interference.

2013: The Mets play their fourth game of 15 or more innings this season. After losing the first three marathons, they come out on top this time, defeating the San Francisco Giants, 4 - 3, when Eric Young Jr. scores on a 16th-inning error by SS Brandon Crawford. Buster Posey goes 5 for 8 with two doubles and a homer in a losing cause.
